Great review. Appreciate that you are a parent & spent some time talking about car seats and rear seating access. Why else are people buying minivans!? Especially at this trim level- it is not a shuttle van or courier van, it is a family van!
Everyday Reviews You’re very welcome it’s a well deserved compliment. I’m in the market for a minivan but I don’t want to spend more than 25k. What do you recommend? Used of course
I wish I had more time. I've ben wanting to do a review of the Clek for so long now. Hands down best seat out there. The rigid latch system is golden especially when you move the seats around as much as I do. Thanks for the comment.
Great vid thanks for adding your family .. and, maybe someone mentioned this -but if my kids knew I had a noise canceling cabin feature ain’t no telling what they would say or do back there :)
One thing I caught wrong was that he said that ex models and above get a power liftgate. But this is not true, only ex-l models and above get the power liftgate.
Great video my friend . Hi, there, I just bought a 2019 odyssey and I want to make a camper out if it but its too small with the middle seats in. So, i do not know what to do them . do you have any ideas? Thanks!
Great review from real life perspective! A couple of questions about the air vents in the third row...seems like the air flow would not be the best since the vents are on the sides vs. the ceiling? Seems they can be blocked easily? How long does it take for the back seats of the van to get comfortably cool or warm depending on the outside weather?
This has been a point of criticism in the latest Odysseys, the loss of the rear air-conditioning condenser. It's a shameless cost cutting move on Honda's part. Owners in Texas. Louisiana, Florida, Arizona and Nevada, and New Mexico are dreading the onset of every summer, because of the lack of cooling capacity in the third row.
I just test drove one, the 2nd row seat doesn't fully recline with the middle seat in place like it does in my 2006. I liked the responsiveness of the engine and the steering felt great. I am going to hold off for a year, I understand Honda has a hybrid model on the way.
i am thinking to get one of these minivan from sienna, odyssey and pacifica. sienna has awd, do we really it? which one would you pick regardless price?
Tested all three (plus hybrid pacifica), the gas model of Pacifica is the worst drive feel and Honda the best (though the wheels on Toyota felt more natural). However the hybrid Pacifica decimates all the rest, even when battery runs out, it is a very impressive hybrid.
The only people that say the minivan is dead are the people that can't make a minivan...not even a competitive minivan. Even Hyundai who's minivans are less competitive in the U.S. market are selling a whole lot of them in other countries.
I'd have to go with the Pacifica Hybrid just for the plug in hybrid. If the Odyssey had a plug in option, it would be my pick. The magic slide seats are just that good.
Charles Marshall I had a stow n go before and I do miss the extra storage space and being able to flip the chairs down. But with that also came lots of junk being stored/forgotten, things falling into the cracks and worst of all the amount of dirt and buildup over time that just gets trapped in those crevices. That alone was worth giving up the stow n go for me. I much more enjoy my magic seats 😊
i had one the 1994 one and the eng blew at 125K I baby that car i mean baby it then honda amited to ful but thay said OH will I wll never buy a nother one agan I do NOT want a car that turn in to a tom bomb

Best review of the Odyssey hands down! Well done!
Thanks!

Not gonna lie, it's a sharp looking Minivan!
+Christa Urhot I thought so too.
Honda pro
This is the best review I have seen.
Thank you for your honest review with your family. We also have a Clek and it was great to see how they fit in the Odyssey.

Now that's a review I was looking for... great job.
One thing I caught wrong was that he said that ex models and above get a power liftgate. But this is not true, only ex-l models and above get the power liftgate.
You are correct. Nice catch. Thanks
Really good review. Thanks for the information.
Excellent review
For family hauler, Minivan > Crossover
100%.
Can u do a video Comparing the 2018 Odyssey vs the 2018 Sienna?
+RICARDO DIAZ Sure I can try.
Everyday Reviews Cool Thank You.
RICARDO DIAZ y not a good comparison. Honda is better and sienna is a uber or taxi car. Lol
Great video my friend . Hi, there, I just bought a 2019 odyssey and I want to make a camper out if it but its too small with the middle seats in. So, i do not know what to do them . do you have any ideas? Thanks!
Nice please.let me know which year or model Honda Odyssey is Best .thanks
Probably it will take me a while to get use to that push button shifter .
nice one. Missed your drone shots though!
Great video, TYFS!!!

Aves Raggiana - agree...it wasn't a good move at all. We are in SC, so the summers here are pretty hot too.

do you think a queen mattress will fit in the back with all the back seats down/removed?
I don’t think. I think a queen is too wide.
Thank you great review
He said ex models and above get a power lift gate but i bought an ex res and it doesn't have a power lift gate.
What's with the 360 view camera, don't you like driving?
+gp2003gt ??? 360 camera is for parking. Aka birds eye view.
Ford free star had the line interpreted into the glass

Buyer beware of inferior Honda Odyssey transmission failure. You've been forewarned.
Do tell!! I’m looking at a used 2018, with 60k miles.
Good video! Thank you.. but the Touring is not the top of the line, the Elite is the top, then the Touring. But again thank you for the information.
Touring is the top trim in Canada.
The only people that say the minivan is dead are the people that can't make a minivan...not even a competitive minivan. Even Hyundai who's minivans are less competitive in the U.S. market are selling a whole lot of them in other countries.
Great review thanks for you time and knowledge 👈🏾👌🏾
So which one do you prefer, Odyssey or Pacifica Hybrid?
I'd have to go with the Pacifica Hybrid just for the plug in hybrid. If the Odyssey had a plug in option, it would be my pick. The magic slide seats are just that good.
Excellent Minivan just weak transmissions in the long run
Honda NEEDS to step up the placement and usage of the VACUUM like the pacifica! That hose is a MESS!
I still like the current dodge caravan more. Not sure why
2018 Kia sedona is a good match
Nice van, but no Sto-N-Go. Pacifica has it beat!
Charles Marshall But the seats aren't comfortable at all. If kids are in car seats, that wouldn't matter then.
Charles Marshall I had a stow n go before and I do miss the extra storage space and being able to flip the chairs down. But with that also came lots of junk being stored/forgotten, things falling into the cracks and worst of all the amount of dirt and buildup over time that just gets trapped in those crevices.

There is no campas in 2018 oddesy exl
No is Honda Odyssey it’s not 2018 it’s 2019 You understand
Why does it say Real Life in the title?
Just describing that’s it’s an everyday use point of view. How it worked and our real life experiences.
